DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IS EXCLUSIVE TO THE BASS COMMUNION PAGE, SO IF YOU WANT ONLY THE DIGITAL ALBUM, GO TO: basscommunion.bandcamp.com/album/and-no-birds-sing

Release date is set for April 15th, but it will most likely ship before that date.

I am very excited to announce the first edition of the newest & latest Bass Communion album, And No Birds Sing, on physical media. This marks the third instalment in a series of releases Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, No Man, Solo, I.E.M) under the pseudonym Bass Communion and Coup Sur Coup Records have undertaken since 2019. The first two, Droneworks 2019 and Indicates Void Expanded Edition were reissues of material previously released, augmented with bonus material, while this one marks the first time we are releasing a “yet to be made available” physical edition of a Bass Communion Album.

“And No Birds Sing “was originally released on Bandcamp as a digital only release on June 16 2021. It is the soundtrack to the work in progress movie of the same name. Limited to 200 copies world wide (not to make it exclusive, elusive or something like that, but rather because as a one man operation, 200 cassettes is the maximum I can handle without losing my mind when it comes to shipping and packaging) available to pre-order starting today via Bandcamp’s “Bandcamp Friday”.
It is also available via our big cartel store, but we encourage you to buy it from here at least during Bandcamp Friday.

200 copies, professionally dubbed on a silver/metallic shell, housed in a clear/silver case, a hand numbered obi-strip and the striking grey/orange artwork created by long time SW collaborator Carl Glover at Aleph Studios.
Release date is April 15th 2022 but I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to start shipping before that date.

Here’s what Steven had to say regarding this release:

“2 pieces that originated as sound design / soundtrack material for the work in progress movie And No Birds Sing.

This first 28 minute sequence is assembled from material created for the film, dark industrial sound design, with cavernous metal scrapes, water drips, subterranean drones, and shortwave radio transmissions.

The second theme piece is more beautiful and harmonic, built around a sequence of chords in regular intervals that only arrives back at the beginning after moving through 24 different piano chords.

And No Birds Sing is a story that crosses genres, having aspects of Psychological Thriller, Horror and Mystery. Reality merges with film and the supernatural when a London director starts to experience strange events and is forced to confront his troubled past. The film blurs the lines of reality, memory and fiction where sound constantly motivates the twists and turns of the action.

So far a 4 minute test trailer for the film has been shot, watch it here:

This is expected to sell out fast, given that its never been released on physical media before, so don’t sleep on it…

Winnipeg's Electro Quarterstaff is a personal favorite, a power keg of riffs, blastbeats and spin on a dime time sigs. If Don Cab had 3 James Hetfield and if you fused Damon Che with Dave Lombardo Coup sur Coup Records
